Quoting unnamed administration officials, CNN host Jake Tapper revealed that the White House is “concerned” that Russia could invade South and East Ukraine “possibly as soon as this weekend.” He said that, in spite of Russia’s assurances that the large numbers of troops and military equipment amassed along the Ukrainian border are there merely for training exercises, the White House believes that Moscow could be planning a broader incursion into Ukraine.
“There is now real apprehension that Vladimir Putin could push even further into Ukraine, perhaps as soon as this weekend,” Tapper said. He quoted anonymous administration officials who are “concerned” that the Russians are not being honest when they claim that the troops stationed along the Ukrainian border are not preparing for an invasion.
Russian officials have assured the administration that they are only conducting military exercises. “But, Obama administration officials have received intelligence suggesting there is reason to be skeptical of Russia’s claims,”Tapper continued, “and that Russia, as soon as in the coming days, could use any number of pretexts to justify pushing its military incursions deeper into Ukraine.”
The CNN host added that such an invasion could be carried out by Russia so quickly that Western nations would barely have the opportunity to “raise objections” over it.

Right on.
Ukraine has coal iron ore the largest steel mill and a huge agricultural segment. If I were Putin I would invade two weeks from now when the weather has improved. Ukraine is great tank country
Target rich environment, let the Russian Tanks roll. With our A-10 Warthogs we will wipe them out, oh wait that’s right Obama and his lackey Hagel moth balled that plane.
O...M...G!
IOW - we tell them and the world we will take no action, but be heartened because "we are concerned"....
CNN can’t read the inscrutable mind of Vlad Putin and the Kremlin oligarchy. CNN also has no clue about the rebirth of Christian Russian. Since the USA is a declared post Christian nation it matters not to CNN what Christianity does anywhere else. The tide of history is with Christianity. Always has been, always will be. Pro islamists are doomed to relearn history again and again - like in Groundhog day the movie.

CNN :”Russia Could Invade Ukraine as Soon as This Weekend”
Yawn.
Formerly , “reported” on CNN:
“Milosevici committing genocide! 100,000 Albanians killed in Kosovp!”
“Saddam has WMD! He’s killing his own people!”
“Gaddafi preparing genocide! He’s slauthering the people in Benghazi!”
Bloody lying warmongers.
Do you want Russia to do the same thing to our socialist neighbors to the south?
How many seconds would transpire before the Ukrainians sold half of those weaps on the black market?
Know the answers to questions such as those before even thinking of sending arms into such a place.
The White House is “concerned” that Obama may have to go in front of the teleprompter and read some harsh sounding words during one of the March Madness games or interrupt one of his golf outings.
They are concerned that Obama may actually have to stop what he is doing and “look busy”.
If Ukraine “votes” for annexation (should they be fully invaded), it will be obvious that vote fraud has occurred.
My point exactly.
